I'm Sofia – a pediatrics resident at Columbia. As such, I love medicine, kids, and helping those interested in a similar path move forward to achieve their dreams. I graduated from Vanderbilt University magna cum laude with a major in Human & Organizational Development and triple-minored in Biology, Spanish, and Medicine, Health & Society. I then graduated from UT Southwestern Medical School as a member of the national medical honor society, Alpha Omega Alpha, before starting my residency training at New York-Presbyterian/Columbia at the Children's Hospital of New York.
My standardized tests: SAT 2340 (>99th percentile), MCAT 524 (100th percentile), Step 1 Pass, Step 2 CK 276 (>99th percentile)
I've had several years of experience with college counseling and MCAT tutoring, and I like to pay forward what I learned on my journey to facilitate the test-taking and admissions process that unfortunately can be so stressful in both high school and college. I'm a big believer that an early, thought-out strategy can reduce the application burden tremendously, so I love sessions that focus on big-picture planning to maximize success. I also recently went through the residency applications process so I'm happy to talk to other medical students about how to utilize their limited time wisely.
I'm also available for writing workshops, essay editing, and more!
